so from what everyone has been telling me and what i have researched from other posts ..these questions run in my head....

is it because i have 3 subs connected to 1 amp?

is it because the way i wired all 3 subs to the amp?

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woof...mp;woofer_imp=4

not enough juice made the amp pop?

my cap isn't a big cap and i am using the batt that came with the car.

and i have an amp for my highs branched off the same power/ground/remote

and when i was playing young jeezy - Hypnotized my volt meter on my car went down

i didn't set the gain all the way up or the Qbass

wasn't the remote.ground.rca or power wires

Did you have the amp bridged?

If you did, it blew up because it was only seeing 1 ohm per channel so of course it blew up.

The voltage drop just helped it to blow up. It was always going to anyway.

yeah it was bridged and it dropped to 8/9 volts

oh well next time ill be more informed...

i think i can only bridge it at 4ohms load with 2 subs not 3.but im not going to beat until i get a better power supply

here's a website kranny gave me for my 2400.2

http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/PPI_PC2400.2/

ok so when bridging with any amp it cuts to ohm load in half?

what kind of mid/ highs amp do you have, my amp does the same thing, and i'm curious what your running.

Your amp is ruined. 1 ohm per channel on a class A/B amp with 8-9v is going to destroy it. It's possible that it's not even repairable but you never know.

You can bridge your amp to 2 subs, yes. That will give you a 4 ohm load and won't blow your shit up again, unless your voltage gets that low. What the hell do you have for electrical, a flat battery and a hamster wheel alternator?

i have a stock battery and a small cap.

stock alternator

2001 monte carlo ss
